Hi folks,

This should be a fairly simple fix but I've been trawling google and these forums all day and can't find what I'm looking for.

My 206 is a 2001, (51 plate), 1.6 16v GLX. (5dr)

I, err.. collided, with a bollard a while back, and completely ruined the front passenger side door and sill. I bought a replacement door from a scrapyard from another GLX, as I didn't want to transfer electric window motors etc over. I've had this fitted by a garage and the side of the car resprayed.

However, the central console is now reporting the passenger door as being open. If I open the car on the central locking, all the locks lock after about 1/2 a second, so I have to be quick opening them. Unfortunately, the driver side door's barrel has seized (before I'd bought the car) and the barrel was missing from the old door after a break-in, so I have to rely on the central-locking fob. The car will sometimes stop responding to the key-fob so I have to start the engine, and then try again. Most of the time it will lock OK, with the beep to tell me that there's a door "open" - Although whenever a door is actually open the locks bounce back up, but they won't if they're closed.

Anyway, I'm assuming this is because the door sensor on the replacement door needs a good clean, but I don't really know what I'm looking for.

I had originally suspected the solenoid (and could swap that out from my old door which is currently across the back seats), but as the door is occasionally locking anyway, I suspect the current solenoid is OK.

I was going to try a soft reboot of the BSI, but I know the doors need to be closed for this and am scared of doing any damage should the door sensor be reading incorrectly.

Hoping some of you kind folks can point me in the direction of the sensor (so I can clean or replace with my old one) - Or troubleshoot the issue for me.

Thanks in advance!

26/03 Update:

Thought an update might be useful should anyone encounter the same problem.

After swapping over the door actuator/solenoid (The black thing), the problem didn't go away. I know that unit worked correctly because it was out of my old door. Checked the wiring loom for corrosion and it looked fine enough but ended up ripping the loom in the "new" door out and replacing with the loom from my old door. The Head-Unit immediately recognised that the door was now shut when it was etc and the locks started acting normally again.


	Why is it that something that says \"Do not eat\" is far more tempting to eat than if it didn\'t?

....Bump. Can anybody help? Can't find a thing online... Plenty about unlocking after locking but not the other way around.... As soon as I get out of the driver's door the doors will all lock, meaning if I leave my keys in there I'll be up a certain creek without a certain paddle...
